i am not sure if 2.6.35 is recent enough

but it is since a long time in the upstream linux kernel
as "vmw_balloon" like also "vmxnet3" and "vmw_pvscsi"

hopefully sometimes "vsock", "vmci" and "vmsync" will also be included
directly in linux kernel upstream  as the modules needed for VMware
Workstation too to get rid of this boring kernel dependencies making
each kernel-major release on distributions like Fedora making to an
adventure because VMware is usually way behind upstream

VMware Workstation 8.0.3 as example is only a secuity update
and still needs months old patches for 3.2/3.3 to get it work
again :-(
